Because of my size, I do feel uncomfortable on public conveyances - I just cannot fit completely in between the armrests with my arms relaxed. I have to squish my shoulders forward and together which makes it pretty hard to relax. The reason I prefer sitting next to women is that I am reluctant to let my body parts casually lean on strange men, where I don't worry that a strange woman will think I am coming on to her if my arm or leg touch hers, thus making it much easier to share the space. But I also do not hesitate to ask a man who is spread out to pull himself together, literally, to make room for me!
